No, sir, that's a colon, not a "double-dot."
And when you ask me if I mean "the number zero or the letter zero," when I have told you to type in "zero," I will go OMGWTFBBQTCP/IP!
And then I will say, wow, um, you work at a place that makes (things our government uses for "defense"). Um. Wow.

That's it...You're too competent. You can find your butt with only one hand...the helpdesk needs you.And the managers are jealous cause they can't find their own ass with both...

I cannot understand people who don't know what a hypen or semi-colon is. I swear I learned those things in 2nd grade.

I know; if I hear one more person recite to me that they are going to a website that starts off "H-T-T-P-semicolon-blacksplash-blacksplash"...

I think the last time a customer actually referred to a colon as a colon and not 'thingy', 'double-dot', 'semicolon' or just plain missing it out, I marked it on my calendar.

And the last time a customer knew where to find the apostrophe, well, that's just lost in the mists of time.
